2005 Goodwill Rengo

    Keywords: Ongoing game

Make your move in the 2005 Goodwill Rengo, to celebrate peace and ecology, both in our planet Earth and in our minds!

Make your play on main board and circle it (unmarking the previous play). Also, make your play on the numbered board, and leave a brief note identifying yourself and your play. Every 10 moves we have to start a new numbered board.

For how it's done, see Ongoing Game. For a discussion of the game see 2005 Goodwill Rengo/Discussion. Note: the discussion contains "spoilers" regarding the moves already played...read at your own risk ;)

Moves 31-40

Mef: B1, Moving things along while some of us still have the old year...

Shaydwyrm: W2 - passing time until I can leave work and celebrate...

Jakub: B3, A joseki move.

IanDavis: W4, If black is going to play Joseki then I will too

PurpleHaze: B5, more joseki.

Shaydwyrm: W6, only move.

PurpleHaze: B7, still more joseki.

dnerra: W8. Don't want to start a fight here.

Moves 21 to 30

PurpleHaze: B1, gaining liberties, forced I believe.

W2 captures. (This was played by 24.58.0.149, but not signed, and only played in the top board, not the number board.)

JoelR: B3. I don't think Black lives on the right without this capture.

Arno: W4. Harass the two black stones in the corner (while extending our base), now that we have a strong ponnuki down the side.

Dieter: B5. Brrrr. To live small, better than being chased over the board...

Jakub: W6. Either making or preventing shimari is always big, and looking at the whole board, approaching here seems wiser than enclosing the northwest corner. Looking over the most common joseki, a high approach seems preferable.

PurpleHaze: B7, this pincer seems the right direction.

kokiri - W8, I'm not feeling very imaginative today, but it is my birthday.

JoelR: B9. Happy birthday. Is it still 2004 where you are?

Hikaru79: W10. Still a few hours of 2004 left over here ^_^

Moves 11 to 20

Mef: B1, Natural response? (Natural to me at least)

Jakub: W2, the joseki move. But Black can get a nice framework now.

Quicksilvre: B3, building said moyo.

Jakub: W4, pushing through the opening. Black 13 seems slack, better at White 14

Quicksilvre: B5, That's one good looking empty triangle :)

Jakub: W6, With a lovely cutting point.

JoelR: B7, only a few more days of noggy goodness before the government takes it all away.

Velobici: W8, does White have a prayer? Strengthen the weakest White stone.

JoelR: B9, there will be some sort of trade here. An exchange of gifts, perhaps?

Jakub: W10, strengthening the two white stones while threatening the black with atari. Ready to make concessions near B9

Moves 1 to 10

DJ: B1, in the wake of tradition.

IanDavis: W2, in the name of overplay.

Hikaru79: B3, for convention :)

Reuven: W4, "no particular reason" ;)

El Draco: B5, in the name of peace :)

Alex Weldon: W6, looking back to a simpler time

Hikaru79: B7, in the spirit of co-operation.

IanDavis: W8 striking a blow for liberty

Velobici: B9 combination pincer / extension.

Quicksilvre: W10 Reaching upward. In the spirit of beginners! Probably a bad move.
